Plot
Summary: Summer, 1969: men on the moon,
and Woodstock happening near the cabin where the Kantrowitz
family stays every summer. The camp's a Jewish fish-bowl.
Marty's there weekends; he repairs TVs in Brooklyn.
He's square and decent. His wife Pearl and his mother
camp with Alison (she's 14) and their younger son.
Pearl got pregnant at 17 and feels she missed her
youth. While Alison experiences her first date, first
kiss, first period, and stealing off to Woodstock
with the lifeguard, Pearl has her own sexual awakening
with "the blouse man," a peddler who sells
at the camp. They too go to Woodstock. Marty confronts
Pearl about the affair; she and he have to decide
what to do next.
Comments:
A
WALK ON THE MOON is a beautifully artistic film that
meticulously recreates the look and feel of the summer
of 1969. If you are old enough to remember that historic
summer, I think you'll identify with the societal
mood and personal conflicts presented. This film recreates
an important moment in time for American society and
helps us remember how we grew up as individuals and
as a culture. The film is well acted and directed
although I thought Tovah Feldshuh was miscast as the
grandmother because she was too young. The art direction
and set decoration is superb and you can practically
smell the air in the Catskills!
